Dust Buddies (Mario Party DS)
Template:Minigame-infobox Dust Buddies is a 4-Player and Duel minigame appearing in Mario Party DS.
Introduction
The game starts with the two or four competitors walking down a hallway when a vacuum cleaner comes. The competitors then start running away from the oncoming vacuum.
Gameplay
Players must run away from the vacuum cleaner in the hallway to avoid getting sucked up, dodging obstacles, such as fluffs, ribbons, and buttons along the way. What obstacles are located in a given location and how many there are change in each game. If the player is on a ribbon or a photo negative, they are most likely going to get sucked up faster. If the player is on a dust bunny, they will slow down. If the player hits a button, they will fall down. The ball is just a regular obstacle. However, if it hits the vacuum cleaner, it will rebound, and will make those hit fall. Either the players who cross the finish line or the last player standing are the winners.
Ending
In the end of the mini-game, all characters will be on top of a dresser. The winner(s) then does the dance they do whenever they win a mini-game.
Trivia
- The name's title is a pun on dust bunnies.
